The third beautiful tea of last Thursday was that of Mrs. John W. Glenn, and It differed in the color of its decorations from any ever given here, and was a delightful in novation. A green tea has hitherto never been tried in New Orleans, but its great success proves that the soft cool shades of green are beautifully adapted to teas In our warm climate. It was refreshing Indeed on a day so warm as Thursday last to step Into halls and rooms, cool and shady, where foliage plants and garlands of green leaves mads a city home look like a sylvan retreat.

Green shaded lights gave almost a moos-light effect to the rooms, and the breath of the orange blossoms entwined In the garlands was almost oriental in its sweetness. The creams and ices were, to a certain extent, tinged with green; the fair waitresses carried little waiters trimmed with green ribbons and wore dainty hand' painted aprons, In the decoration of which green leaves predominated. 1 These aprons were the handiwork of the accomplished young lady of the house, who Is an artist of bo ordinary ability.

It had been ru mored that surprises were in preparation and every invited guest had been in a fever of excitement for weeks past and had asked every other woman she met "Oh, my dear. do you know what Mrs. Roberts is planning and have you any idea what her surprises will be But the secret was well kept and when the doors of the spacious dining-room were thrown open the surprise and admira tion were both genuine and sincere. The guests were delighted, and. wonderful for their sex, well nigh dumb lor a lew brier moments.

The Bee even now lays down ber pen and catching a deep breath pauses, to dwell In memory upon that gorgeous scene. A table laid tor twenty guests occupied the entire length of the room while four smaller tables were arranged in the four vacant oornera. In the centre of the great table, embedded In moss and ferns, lay a mammoth pumpkin, fully as large as the one from which her fairy grandmother fashioned Cinderella's coach. At either end of the table was a giant slipper large enough to accommodate the "old wom an who lived in a shoe" with all her numerous progeny, but filled on this occasion with rare and beautiful flowers. At each plate was an exquisite golden slipper filled with radiant tulips brought from the nurseries of the North.

The glassware was all band painted in tulip designs. But the surprises par excellence were the constantly varying slippers of glass and porcelain in which the delicious viands were serrei each course bringing Its own peculiar slipper for our Inspection and admiration. 'Twere worse than useless to attempt to describe the menu, and of course words cannot do justice to the loveliness of it all. At the beginning of luncheon, Mrs. Roberts read the Hindu version of Cin derella, adapted and arranged by a brilliant woman now in New Orleans.

In the midst of the luncheon. Mrs. Moilie Moore Davis rose and at onoe one knew that something beautiful would be read. She had written an exquisite little thing for the. occasion entitled "My Lady's Slipper," and she read it remarkably wall.

He was told that there resided a venerable old lady who had Just celebrated ber one hundred and first birthday, and who was possessed of extraordinary health for one of so many years. The reporter called on the lady to congratulate her upon the happy event she had witnessed a few days before. In response to his rapping at the gate came slow but steady footsteps. An aged woman, small of frame, somewhat bent by the weight of years, with smiling countenance and polite gesture, courteously invited the visitor to enter the little home. Mrs.

Adelaide Maire for such was the name by which she introduced herself chatted pleasantly for quite a while with the new comer. She spoke in French, be-oauae she was unacquainted with any other language, and told the story of her long and uneventful life briefly and Interestingly. She was the daughter of Pierre Paul Gaudin and Feliolte Xeplne and was bora In Jefferson parish, on her father's plantation, a short distance above Harvey's canal. on the 6th of January, 1789. She was courted and wedded by Laurent Maire, a gentleman of wealth, who traveled a great deal.

The marriage was solemnized the year after tbe battle of New Orleans and the eouple also made Jefferson parish their Her husband died in the fifties, shortly after they had removed to New Orleans, where the old lady has resided continuously for forty years. During that long period of time in fact during her entire life she has never traveled beyond sixty miles from this city. She lived in the midst of ail that fortune could command and occupied a Srominent position in the society of those ays. Her four daughters, Dorothe, Mathilde, Marie Adele and Lorenza. were educated at the Ursullnee Convent and as accomplished as any of their classmates.

Only one of the daughters, Mathilde, who never married, is now living. She is at present 70 years old. resides with hef mother, and when both are together they would be taken for sisters rather than mother and child. The three daughters left children and the old lady is to-day the great-grandmother of several good-sized boys and girls. As the conversation progressed, the reporter mentioned the names of some of the oldest Creole families.

This refreshed her memory, and a number of Interesting incidents and anecdotes about near and dear friends followed each other in rapid succession. She remembered both Jackson and Lafayette so distinctly that, were she an artist, she would be able to paint their portraits from memory. She had seen New Orleans a veritable desert, and had noticed Its gradual and continual growth. Although there has been quite a change In her life, caused by the ravages of war upon her property, she Is happy, and does not mourn the loss of her former wealth. Of course she is more retired now, and seeks no society.

She spends the day sewing and reading, and when evening comes chats with those about ber as merrily aa she did when she entertained distinguished guests in her blazing salons. Before taking leave of his. venerable hostess the reporter prevailed upon her to allow him to photograph her. She had not had her picture taken in a number of years and therefore granted the request. She asked to be excused for a moment, retired to an adjoining room ana returuea attirea in a black dress.

She remarked that a dark gown would aid the amateur in obtaining a good negative. 8everal likenesses of her were taken in different positions, and a group showing four generations 01 her family was also photographed. In bidding the old lady "an revolr" she expressed herself as delighted with the sudden visit and invited. the reporter to call NEW Y0KK FASHIONS. Oddly adjusted jacket fronts and complicated bodice draperies and plastrons appear upon many tt)f the new spring walking costumes.

Fur garnitures and small fur wraps will be worn throughout the spring and as far into the summer season as they prove comfortable. Fur pelerines were worn on evening drives all last summer at cool mountain and seaside resorts, proving none too warm after dinner over dresses of airy summer fabric. At a pretty church wedding this week the bride's bouq.net was a work of art, a combination of rare white orchids, white rosebuds, lilao and orange blossoms tied with rich white satin ribbons. The bridesmaids wore crowns of nrimrose tinted crepe de Chine draped with primrose tulle, and carried beautifully shaded yellow roses, all tints, tied with golden yellow ribbons.

The lovely and refined silver, fawn and dove gray patterns are strewn with figures in gold, crevette, white and vieux rose and the amber, tan and reseda suks with gay Pompadour devices and patterns iircopper and tea rose. They are also woven with beautiful Persian borderings. Little girls and big srirls "with silver pins, sticking in their sleeves," and also adorning tbeir bodices, bonnets and coifi'ures, are a common sight this season. Pins both little and lar ore to hold the bouquet, to fasten draperies, to catch the fall of the lace iabot or the ribbon loops are exhibited in full array and in every new conceivable modification.

In order to tone with the artistic draoeries and floral adornments of the house and table, a number of well-known firms are dyeing was candles in twelve art colors which harmonize perfectly with the pretty French lamD-shadea. table and mantle scarfs, and other indoor accessories.

The velvet redingote slip has a demi-trained princess back is magnificently trimmed with passementerie in special arabesque devices adjusted to the various portions of the oversown for which they were particularly wrought. The passementerie is all of beads, which run through marvelous shadinss of raauTe. lilac.

On a dinner gown is a design showing a delicate gold ground with clusters of shaded narcissus, with odd leaves surrounding these of dark terracotta velvet. The gown is in directoire style, with trimmings of terracotta velvet vandyke points. The "supper jacketf is the last name for those nondescript and fantastio little bodices that are everywhere so popular. The chief aims to be kept in view with regard to these jackets are that they should be in themselves very becoming ana so arrangtxi tyiyt lw arliln with aOV SO It Of Skirt.

They are also adaptable garments, for they appear at the theatre, opera, at dressy dinner parties, and in boudoirs and reception rooms. There is no doubt about the beauty of some of the expensive models created in Paris. The shape of one, for example, is perfect for those who can wear the high Medici collar, and look well in a blouse vest. This is made of cream-colored velvet, tight-fitting in the back, and open in front with a crossing of the velvet, diagon ally below tho chest, me jacKet shows no fastenings.

Like pona-uiy au ixuugi- pani, this penume is aensety bvitoi, and therefore it is not agreeable to everybody. The color of the perfume is a faint lilac, aDd the pretty little bottles are tied up with lilac ribbon.

Spring cheviots and camel's hair serges 01 every aesenpuua, striped, plaided and bordered, and beautiful fancy woolen fabrics in end-Iabs mav now be seen in all the leading shops, in color-schemes and combinations never before introduced. TailoT gowns made of these stylish fabrics can be worn until July at least with perfect comfort, and it is still indispensable that these should be made in great simplicity, as figured woolen materials require but little draping or adornment. Stripes of lustrous Benga-line silk are woven in beige, dove-gray, auburn brown and pine green woolens. There are also velvet, Pompadour and effective broche stripes. For bridesmaids' toilets are directoire redingotes of pink and silver Louis Xlll brocade, with short revere-of rose colored velvet, and vesta of sea greea or pale pink crepe de Chine, delicately embroidered in silver; and large Cromwellian cravats of lisse with point lace ends.

The redingotes are worn above skirts of accordion-pleated crepe lisse over surah or, those of silver silk with a band of pink and silver emuroiderv as a Skirt Doraer. The directoire slippers are of pale gray Suede kid with large silver buckiei es. and the silk stockings and gloves match these in color. The difficulty that the designers of new jackets and redingotes have had to overcome is the absence of the tour-nure. On this the wraps of other seasons huog, in a literal as well as a figurative sense.

This is one of the chief causes and secrets of the long life of the hideous eyesore known as the bustle. The mantles and jackets of that absurd period were so shaped and pleated at tne back as to need this upholding and support. The spring models in jackets have flat coat backs, and other garments are so arranged that but little terracing is needed. With the "wreath of roses" style 01 dress, now so much worn at balls and hops (rose wreathe around the shoulders, rose garlands on the skirts, and rose sprays in the hair), the coiffure looks best with the hair arranged high in one full coil, repeating the curved lines of the garlands. The rose toilet is pretty either when in empire style with round waist, sash, full skirt and half-low bodice, or in directoire fashion and of rich brocade flowered with roses just matching the blossoms and foliage used.

Youth, considerable beauty, and an unconscious manner are absolutely necessary to render the rose toilet a success. Otherwise, the wearer will look bat an overdressed individual. The prime Qualifications being visible, the wearer will prove one of the most charming and poetio figures in the dance. The windows of many dry goods stores are already blossoming with handsome new cotton fabrics, fine soft French ginghams, zephyr goods, cham-breys, Bcotch plaids, stripes, tennis-suitings, etc The importers of these fabrios affirm that on account of their wonderfully beautiful fast-dye color ings and their sneer aeiicate texture, they will be more used the coming summer than for many years past; and certainly the French and English organdies, crepalines, muslins and fancy cotton cords and picots are so delicate and beautiful that no woman with an eye to dainty dressing could object to wearing them. There are shade in rose, lilac, corn color, pale green, pink ana bebe blue among these inexpensive but charming new textiles that are quite imposible to find in the entire list of dress fabrics until the India goods and rare satin and brocaded materials of reat cost are reached, and, unlike ormer lovely cotton dyes, these are warranted, to stand any reasonable amount of exposure to sunshine, salt air, and that worst of all crucibles, the wash tub.

A beautiful dress glove, designed by M. Fontaine, is made 01 cream-wnite undressed kid, sixteen-button length, but mousquetaire shape exquisitely embroidered. On each glove a long rosebud trail is taken round and round the arm. as a serpent-bracelet might go. till it ends at the very top.

The embroidery is most beautiful, very delicate, and a true reproduction of nature, as all French flower-work is. The effect is as if a fresh young spray of rosebuds had been twined round the arms instead of bracelets. The gloves would look lovely with a white rose-trimmed toilet. In tan shades alone M. Fontaine displayed three hundred varied tints at the Paris exhibition.

Among novel gants are those of mastio and Suede, tilboryed with lilac. M. Fontaine makes also a specialty of a black Suede glove, the inside being perfectly white. It ia.said that in the manufacture of gloves, both black and dark, the gloves are first "coated" to keep the dye from marring the inside, then brushed instead of being plunged, a long and elaborate process, as eacn sjun nas to oe Drusnea with color again, and dried after each brushing. Generally speaking, the gowns next spring will in style and outline repeat models of this season.

Princesse dresses with Greek draperies will prove more than ever popular, bat not to the exclusion of 'either the empire or directoire styles. Corsages will be long, notwithstanding the success of the empire corsage, which is really a long bodice with its length disguised by its wide sash. Ingenuity is still at work devising new and odd effects for sleeves both long, short, full and narrow. Models for toques, both English and French, are prettier and more becoming than ever. In style, fabric and garniture they are made appropriate to every occasion.

8mall bonnets with Strings will be as small, and round hats as large as ever. Wraps will be smalL ornate and extremely varied, and will include fichu-mantles and pelerines of all forms and Vandyke, Breton and Syrian peasant capes. A new bit. of lingerie is a ruff of large cream lace or lace to match the dress, which is tied about the neck witn narrow ribbons. They are variously called the Henri Dear, Catharine de Medici and the Joan d'Aro rulfs.
